Hi, all beginner poolplayers out there, this event is set up specially with you in mind. I have recruited some advanced players who are all very patient coaches for this pool event. This would be a great opportunity for beginners to learn the basics including the rules & the fundamentals of poolplaying while socializing & meeting new friends. You would not feel the pressure even you have never played pool before. No need for coaching? No problem. Here is what I am going to do. I would divide the participants into 2 groups. If you are not interested in pool lesson, I would do the regular table rotation every 45 min so that you can meet more new players. The 2nd group would be the advanced players coaching beginners. I may rotate this group as well depending on how the turnout will be. When signing up for this event, please let me know whether you would like to be in the one with pool lesson or the pure social group. PS This is not "formal" lesson, just coaching by advanced players. Below is the info: please feel free to email me with any questions. Our event usually has 25-35 people show up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.Org site, as I would be promoting the event through various channels) Date/ Time: Sat Jan 26th 7pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards 1400 N Shoreline Blvd, C-1 Mountain View Cost: $15 per person to be collected when signing in. All ladies will receive a discounted entry rate of $10 for this event. For those who would like to play longer after the event ended at 10:30pm, Shoreline Billiards offers a flat rate of $5 per person for the rest of the evening. They close at 2am. Plenty of time for you to practice your newly learned pool technique. The Coaches would be paying the same entry fee of $15, however, they would get to stay for free play after the event ends at 10:30pm To RSVP: Please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Jan 25th. Please include your Full name, email address, number of guests (if any) with their names. Phone number is optional. Please be sure to indicate whether you'd like to be put in pool lesson group or not. Although RSVP is not required, I would like to plan on how many tables & coaches I would need, so please let me know if you think you are likely to join us. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat, so if you do decide to join us at the last minute, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley or BAPBSC's group To be notified with our future pool events, go to yahoo.com, then go to "group", search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool, Billiards, Snooker Club), then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address, I would manually add you as member. I look forward to seeing you all again then. Shirley

Poets Kevin Killian, Jocelyn Saidenberg & George Albon, will be reading their favorite and best written poems, celebrating National Poetry Month. In his first poetry collection, Argento Series, novelist Kevin Killian views the horrors of the AIDS pandemic through the films of Italian horror maestro Dario Argento. Structured like a horror film, populating deadpan reportage with badly drawn "characters" whose grisly deaths nevertheless come as an apocalyptic shock, it is a testament to human suffering, a call to political action unlike any other. Jocelyn Saidenberg's third book of poetry, Negativity, begins in a "dusky" wood, but instead of descending to hell she journeys through the negativity of earthly relations. We hear of friends, lovers, and a declining country--all filtered by a consciousness equally troubled by its own suffering and the suffering of others. A moment is an inside flutter, a reflection, a civil relapse. George Albon's Momentary Songs, sound the possibilities of forwardness and hope in a surrounding twilight of unprecedented venality. Using a variety of registers--lyrical inquiry, Blakean exhortation, the satirical spiel of Morgenstern's Gallows Songs--they search for alternative states (public ones, affective ones) as well as offer a probe on what has come to pass: "In this eclipse are we the inclement for placing it?" About Kevin Killian: Kevin Killian, US poet, novelist, critic and playwright. He has written a book of poetry, Argento Series, two novels, Shy and Arctic Summer, a book of memoirs, Bedrooms Have Windows, and two books of stories, Little Men that won the PEN Oakland award for fiction. A second collection I Cry Like a Baby was published by Painted Leaf Books in 2001. His next book of poetry will be all about Kylie Minogue: poets Michael Scharf and Joshua Clover will launch their new press with Killian’s Action Kylie in the fall of 2008. About Jocelyn Saidenberg: Jocelyn Saidenbur is the author of Disposed, Negativity, Dusky, CUSP, and a limited edition chapbook, Mortal City. Winner of the New Langton Arts Bay Area Award in Literature, 1999, and former Director of Small Press Traffic, Saidenberg is an editor and publisher of Krupskaya, a small press publishing collective. She also works as a librarian at the San Francisco Public Library. Born in New York City, she currently lives in San Francisco. About George Albon: George Albon was born in 1954. He has a degree in film theory from Southern Illinois University. Work of his has appeared in Hambone, Talisman, Ribot, O Anthology 4, Lingo, West Coast Line, non and elsewhere. He is also the author of Reading Pole, Transit Rock, Empire Life, King, and Possible Floor. He lives in San Francisco, California. * * * Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.

This is the monthly meeting of San Francisco-area Flickr users, in a new venue this time, to avoid ballpark congestion at our usual spot. Rendezvous point #1: We'll meet outdoors: corner of Lyon and Bay Streets at 6:00 (or catch up with us any time within the hour) and circle the Grounds of the Palace of Fine Arts. Come on, let's go shooting together. Rendezvous point #2: At 7:30, as the sun sets, we'll repair to the Grove Cafe at 2250 Chestnut Street. Both meeting places are walking distance from the free Palace of Fine Arts parking lot. Come meet up with your fellow Flickr addicts and don't forget your camera and your appetite (mmm, new menu) and also your favorite photographic prop, if you happen to have one! If you've got some photos you've taken that you're especially proud of, you know we'd love to see those too!
